The Alands' categorization of witnesses is certainly a good starting
point, but as Larry Richards pointed out in paper presented at the SBL
annual meeting, one cannot assume that every book in a manuscript is of
the same text-type.  The Alands classify witnesses by group of books
(e.g., Acts + catholic epistles), but variation of text-type within a
group of books does occur.  I would think that the categorization of the
minuscules chosen for this study of James should be investigated on a
manuscript by manuscript basis.
